Renewed April 19, 1933 4 Claims.

This'invention relates to a stand for smokers and more particularly to an improved and novel manner for locatingan ash receptacle thereon.

The principal object of the present invention 1 is to provide a smokers stand constructed to inprising the device are readily mountable for use.

The members forming the supporting means for the ash receptacle are detachably associated to facilitate the removal of the same and to provide a construction in which the parts are readily accessible for cleaning.

Another object is to provide a handle whereby the improved stand may be conveniently transported to any desired location.

A further novel feature is the provision of a bar or arm situated above the ash receptacle for maintaining lighted cigars or cigarettes thereon.

A still further object is to provide a smokers stand which is simple and inexpensive in construction, attractive in appearance, and efiicient and durable in service.

My invention further includes other objects, ad'- vantages and novel features of construction, combination and arrangement hereinafter more particularly referred to and which will be apparent '3'5 receptacle.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the detachable arm member.

Fig. 4 is a front elevation of Fig. 3 showing the position of the ash receptacle.

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of Fig. 3. Fig. 6 is an enlarged detailed view of the upper portion of the pedestal. Referring to the drawing and more particularly to Figure l, the improved stand comprises a 45. base 10, a fixed member or pedestal 11, a cross member 12 and an ash receptacle 13. The base 10 is constructed of relatively heavy metal and is connected to one end ofthe pedestal in any desired manner. As herein illustrated the pedestal is threaded into a centrally located tapped opening in the base 10 as indicated at 14. The pedestal extends vertically upwardly from the base 10 of the stand. Both the base and the pedestal are fancifully designed to present a' stand having an attractive appearance, it. being understood that other designs may be utilized withoutdeparting'from the nature and spirit of the invention.

Referring to Figures 1 and 6, theupper portion of the fixed member or pedestal is propor tioned to centrally include a groove 15, the body portion of the pedestal on both sides of the groove being flat as indicated at 16 and 17 to provide part of a base support for the ash receiver 13. Upwardly extending arms 18 and 19 are integrally situated on the fixed member or pedestal 11, the inner surfaces providing a means for retaining the ash receiver 13 on its base support. One of the oppositely disposed retaining arms, herein illustrated as arm .19, is adapted to extend further in an upwardly direction and to be curved. to position above the ash receptacle as indicated at 20. Thisforms a handle by which the improved stand may be conveniently transported and placed in any desired location. An extending arm 21 from the arm 19 is grooved as indicated at 22 to form a cigar or cigarette maintaining depression. The arm 21 is so situated as to'position a cigar or cigarettedirectly above the ash receptacle thus assuring that the ashes therefrom are deposited within the same. Referringto Figures 3 to 5 inclusive, the cross member 1215 constructed so that it is detachably interfitted or connected to the fixed member or pedestal 11. The member 12 comprises a centrally spaced lug 23 having indentations or grooves 24 and 25 therein, the surfaces of which dovetail into a wedged position against the side surfaces of the groove 15 on. the fixed carrying member. A further groove or indentation 26 takes a position against the, opposite sides of the lower portion of the pedestal surface defining the groove 15 and thereby assures a firm connection between the cooperating members when assembled. The upper portion of the cross member comprises a flat uniform surface 27 situated'above the lug-23. When assembled, the surface 27 is substantially located in an even plane with the surfaces. 16 and 1'7 of the pedestal thereof, forminga support for the-ash receptacle, the base of which rests upon the aforementioned surfaces. Upwardly extending arms 29 and 30 are integrally located on the cross member 12, the inner surfaces of these oppositely disposed arms forming a retaining means to prevent an accidental displacement of the ashreceptacle or its support.

A match support stand as indicated at 31 is suitably located on the arm 29. The arm 30 is constructed to include a holder 32 formaintaining a package of cigarettes therein. Both the holder 32 and match stand 31 are supported in a convenient position adjacent the rim of the ash receptacle. The manner of supporting the ash tray receptacle facilitates a ready removal of the same and also the cross member if desired and provides a construction in which all parts are easily accessible for cleaning.

The inventive concepts herein illustrated and described may be employed in other equivalent forms to accomplish like purposes Without departing from the nature and spirit of the invention.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a device of the character described, a base, a pedestal mounted thereon, a cross member detachably connected to said pedestal, an ash receptacle, upwardly extending means for retaining said receptacle upon the pedestal and cross memben'an arm extending from said pedestal to serve as a handle for transporting the device, a cigarette retaining bar situated above said ash receptacle and extending from the handle portion.

2. In a device of the character described, a base, a pedestal mounted thereon, a cross member detachably connected to said pedestal, an ash receptacle, upwardly extending means for retaining said receptacle upon the pedestal and cross member, and a cigarette package retainer and match holder located at the respective end portions of the cross member.

3. In a device of the character described, a base, a pedestal mounted thereon, a cross member wedgingly carried by said pedestal, an ash receptacle, and upwardly extending means for retaining said receptacle upon the pedestal and cross member.

4. In a device of the character described a base, a pedestal mounted thereon, having upwardly extending arms, a cross member wedgingly carried by said pedestal, and having upwardly extending arms perpendicularly disposed to the arms of the pedestal to form, therewith, a retaining means for an ash receptacle located therebetween.
